Homemade P90 Dog ear shims

Post by IMOCD »

Absolutely no fekin way I'm going to pay $42 & shipping from guitar parts for a couple of shims. Looking for options for homemade ones. I'm thinking neoprene or similar material.... Any thoughts? Cheers.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. Finish is satin poly, so would this still be an issue?

Absolutely, but my worry is do you need something with a bit of spring in it?
